In the crazy, often relentless pace of today's world, Liam Lawton brings us to a place of peace and solace with his new recording, In the Quiet. Meditative melodies are combined with reflective texts to create a unique and wonderful listening experience filled with the traditional Celtic spirituality found in all of Liam's music. Each song in this collection offers a gentle and beautiful reminder of God's holy presence in our lives. The title song, written in response to the horrific events of September 11, 2001, speaks of God being beside us even when the worst is happening. So Longs My Soul is a song of great hope and trust in God, based on Psalm42. Ruah, meaning breath of God speaks of the grace of the Holy Spirit. In the words of Fr. Lawton, I hope that this collection of songs will draw you into the quiet so that you too may hear the silent whisperings and longing of God for all of us. Note - Octavo Breastplate (G-5987) is not part of the collection, but sold separately.
